Hello
Yes it does look pretty, but o so cold, even our Christmas market has been cancelled for the first time since takeing place up at the Castle and surrounding streets, it is international, with at least 500 stall, it came over on tv news this morning, my cousin was going to come to us this weekend by coach, but now not able to come, yesterday we heard that some coach firms had cancelled, the trips, and hotels and quest house were getting cancellations, so a lot of money for the city will be lost as well as resturants, and other shops and funfair that comes as well, it is lovely all the stall holders dress in victorian or edwardian costumes.
Carols being piped through everywhere, Cherie, WINE, plus Muled Wine, beers, continental foods, hot chestnuts and more.
WE used to go up on the Thursday which is start day 16:30 and can take hours to go round all the stalls, then approx 20:45, if coming down Steep Hill the Catherdral bells peel so lovelly it does make you feel Christmas is just round the corner. But because it is hilly round the Catheredral and Castle , for health and Safety it had to be cancelled. The event last for 4 days, with usually from Friday to Sunday coaches coming in from all over the Uk and abroad.
We have had a lot more snow since sending the pictures this morning.
Take care.
Muriel
